Hello again! I'm sorry it took so long to get the next part of the
chapter out!!!!! I've been so busy!!!!!!!!! 17 days until POTC on
DVD!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!! If anyone is interested pick up a copy
of the new Teen People. There's a full page advertisement for the DVD
plus an article with Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom about the
kissing scene!!!!!!! My friend is also drawing a picture of Cat for
me, so look for that posted on my website soon. I promise there will
be LOTS of action in the story, but right now I'm still establishing
the relationship of the story. This is important to the story and to
the two sequels. (Yes, a trilogy. I couldn't resist luvs!) In the 11th
chapter there will be lots of action and every chapter after that!
Enjoy!!!!!!!

Chapter 9, Part II: Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life for Me
"Come on Sparrow," she teased, smirking.
"Gladly,luv." He fought back, aiming two swift blows near her head.
She blocked the first, but the second nearly came down on her, and she
had to duck in order to avoid the blade. Unbeknownst to her, the
medallion began to glow blue on her chest. The intense light grew with
each exchanged blow.
Cat ignored the sudden burning sensation that was spreading throughout
her chest, and concentrated intently on defending herself against
Jack. The anger and sadness that she had kept inside of her for the
past few days flooded out of her with each clash of their swords.
Their swords came to rest above their heads, meeting with a fierce and
sudden clash. They pushed against each other, staring intently into
each other's eyes. Jack stepped forward, suddenly, forcing Cat to take
a shaky step back.
"Ya'll ne'er win, luv," he growled, forcing her back again.
In one fleeting moment the blue light enveloped their battling forms
and threw Jack violently against the deck of the "Pearl'. Cat peered
through the thin blue veil at Jack, confusion etched into her
features.
Jack raised himself, slowly, from the deck. He reached out to touch
the light and pulled his hand back, abruptly. Electricity crackled
through the air. Cat moved even further away. She whimpered under her
breath, clawing at the medallion that was burning the skin on her
chest. She pulled at it, trying desperately to rid herself of the
burning sensation that engulfed her body, but the chain would not
break.
"Help!" she screamed, desperation in her tone. With her panicked cry,
the orb of light around her grew. Jack noticed this and began to
slowly move closer to her.
"'s alright, luv. Jus' calm down," he whispered, gently. Cat only
ignored his words, tugging even harder. "Luv, I can' 'elp ya unless ya
calm down." Cat forced herself to breathe slowly. With each slow
breath, the light dimmed around her until it had disappeared into her
medallion. The fire that had spread throughout her body stopped
suddenly, and she collapsed onto the deck.
Slowly, Jack walked over to Cat, lifting her up,gently. He saw that
tears had traced a slow path down her cheeks. He pulled her to him,
and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Jack. I'm so sorry," Cat's sobs were muffled as her tears
fell slowly onto Jack's shirt. He could feel them there, gradually
seeping through, wetting his skin.
"Shhhh, 's alright, luv, 's alright." He rubbed her back, soothingly,
tracing elaborate patterns up and down her spine. A shiver coursed
through her.
Cat shied away from Jack, suddenly. Reaching behind her neck, she
unclasped the medallion walking briskly to the side of the ship. She
peered into the sparkling sapphire waves, em0tions battling within
her. Cat couldn't explain what had transpired only moments before. The
medallion obviously possessed a great power that she was not aware of.
This scared her, and she had no other choice than to rid herself of
it.
Her hand hung over the side of the ship for a single fleeting
moment before she let the medallion escape her grasp and plunge toward
the glistening waves of the sea. Jack lunged forward, catching the
medallion within his grasp before it dropped below the deck.
"Since ya seem ta no 'ant 'is, I'll be takin' it back." Cat made no
movement to stop him as he once again tucked the medallion into the
small leather pouch at his hip.
Jack stepped back, suddenly, carefully eying Cat. His gaze traced each
curve of her body, his eyes wandering, curiously.
"Ya need ta dress properly if ya 'ant ta be a pirate."

The door to Jack's cabin creaked open, he looked up from his post in
the hallway. Cat stepped out of the shadows, kohl smudged around her
telling eyes, beaded strands of hair brushing against her cheeks as
she walked. Instead of a bandana, a thick leather strap adorned with
diamond cut sapphires encircled her forehead, taming her thick, wavy
locks. She wore a loose fitting shirt, blue as the sky at a new dawn,
with mahogany embroidery at the neckline. The shirt tied closed at the
neckline and at the sleeves. Her belt was as dark as midnight,
clasping closed with two golden bird's wings. There hung the sword
Jack had given her, tucked safely into its sheath, and a dagger
borrowed from Annamaria. Her pants were gray and loose fitting, ending
just below the knee, and he black boots gleamed in the dusk. She
looked stunning.
"Ya clean up 'ell, luv," Jack commented, smiling, "but ya forgot one
thing." He produced the medallion from the pouch at his waist and
proceeded to clasp it around Cat's neck. She took an uneasy step
backwards.
"Easy, luv, 'at's 'at we don' 'ant it ta be doin'." Cat stopped, eager
for an explanation of his behavior.
"I think at's 'at sets it off. Yer emotions. If ya jus' relax no 'arm
'ell come ta ya. Jus' don' get excited, savvy?" She allowed Jack to
clasp the medallion around her neck, his hands lingering there for a
moment as he kissed her neck. They stared out at the setting sun,
savoring the feeling of being in each other's arms.
"Since we drank all the rum las' nigh', luv, I'll be havin' ta stop at
the next port ta get some more supplies. I've got a mate there that I
was fixin' ta see. Maybe 'e can teach ya the basics of swordfightin'.
Whaddah say?"
"Sounds wonderful," she trailed off, locking him in a kiss. "So what is this port's name, Captain, that you're sailing this fine ship toward?" Cat asked playfully.
"Port Royal."
